Kickstarter: Phone Monkey – Universal Smartphone Holder

June 17, 20131 Comment

Now this is something I might have to put some funding into. It is called the Phone Monkey and it is a universal smartphone holder. The monkey bends and shapes to your phone and what you need it for. You can stand your phone on your desk, hang it off the stove or even while your charging it.

Another reason to fund this awesome new holder is for the simple fact that they are heavily reaching out to the Windows Phone community. Check out the Nokia Lumia while on the Phone Monkey.

The Phone Monkey! It hugs your phone to stand on your desk, or twist the tail to swing from your rear-view mirror or a jungle vine.

Hi I’m Bill, I work with Zack at BOING! Designs. We wanted to create a flexible stand to hold any smartphone, and wanted it to be fun. We brainstormed many ideas: bears, flamingos, wombats, but honestly, what is more fun than a monkey?

Phone Monkey… that Phunky Monkey™!

Project Summary

The Phone Monkey™ is a flexible Smartphone stand made from high quality silicone and steel. Phone Monkey frees up your hands and holds any Smartphone from the iPhone running iOS, to the Galaxy Note running Android, to the Nokia Lumia running Windows, and everything in between in a viewing position on any flat surface or hanging from a rear-view mirror, door knob or even just a nail. Use the Phone Monkey as a tripod or as a stand for Skype or FaceTime. We have created ABS prototypes to confirm dimensions and have received factory samples to confirm materials and function. Phone Monkey is ready to go to mold and begin production.

Now we need your help… we’ve created a great product and need some additional resources to make it a reality. Check out the great Backer Rewards on the right and help us reach our goal of a Phone Monkey (or a whole barrel of Phone Monkeys) in every home.
